Austin Film Festival Playscript Feedback

“This play has many strengths, including the development of its concept around the word, ASYLUM, its superb design and use of dazzling and biting dialogue to reveal character, story, and plot, and the transition from cacophony to peace in the body of the play AND the central character .”

Asylum has been put through its development paces to a strong, positive response; it is ready for its closeup.

This play is:

  • a complex story simply told

  • women and LGBTQ+ centered

  • honest in its portrayal of both toxic masculinity and toxic femininity

  • timely and universal in its themes

    • the search for sanctuary no matter who you are or where you are from

    • refugee displacement & immigration

    • domestic violence & addiction

    • LGBTQ+ identity & intersectionality

    • women's autonomy & identity

    • prejudice & xenophobia

    • connection & love

    • borders: national, cultural, personal
